BOULDER DASH ! Boulder Dash? I loved that game! Still play it on my C64 emulator.  One needs to step back and separate possible from probable. Is it possible that the government could attempt this? Sure. Is it probable? Not likely, but things can and do change. Forewarned is forearmed. |

I agree that the govt. is not going to have time or people power to go through safe deposit boxes. They can get all the money they want by i) printing more of it or ii) raising taxes, or iii) doing both i) and ii).

I don't blindly trust the government, nor do I blindly follow conspiracy theories.

Have you ever pawned a gun? If so, there is documentation of that ownership in the records of the pawnshop. Forever, by Federal law. Of course, again, as a law-abiding citizen, there is no problem, right?
Not to change the subject about safe deposit boxes but this has to really be a joke. Federal Law? Gee, if it is against the law to do something, no one will do it, right. That is exactly why here in Chicago we have no crime. It's against the law.  |

Back to those boxes for a minute. Think. With all the problems we have with other governments, just why would anyone want to stir up even more. LOOK around. There are banks from all over the world here today. There wasn't such things in the 30's you know. There wasn't probably a Isreal bank at all for all I know. Now in the downtown area of Chicago there are banks for just about every country in the world. Like I said previously, that japan bank is one of the largest in the world. That's all we need is to start another war with them.

I know a lot of people are going to be saying this isn't the same thing but look what happened to NORFED. Oh, come on! NORFED was nothing but a way to sell silver rounds for about twice their value by using a bunch of doubletalk about how they were real money and could be "spent". When I first came across them, they were selling $5 silver ounces as $10 "coins" that they wholesaled for $7.50, but no one, including NORFED themselves, would buy them back, and they told you this when they sold them. It would be different if they made their own currency that traded in a legit buy/sell market, but it was all one-way, the equivalent to selling coupons for $10 that were "backed" by a gallon of gasoline if you could find someone who would accept them. |

Pawn your gun, commit some crime that prevents you form buying a gun, goodbye gun. |

Right now, today, the government has the power to require citizens to turn in their gold and silver. Short of needing them for a war, it ain't too likely to happen.
Even when the government forbade private ownership of gold 1934(?)-1974, most citizens were not required to turn in US gold coins. Many sheeple good little citizens did, but it wasn't required.

One other point that many people don't know about safe-deposit boxes. You are NOT covered against damage or theft of what you keep in the box. The bank may offer something in the way of goodwill, but they are under no legal obligation past due diligence. Ditto anything you have sitting at the pawn shop.

Hmm...considering that the state of Israel didn't even exist in the '30s, I highly doubt they had a bank...  But I totally hear what you're saying...there are a bunch of Chinese and Korean banks here in LA... |

All I can say is insure your collection. I keep 85% of my collection at the bank. The banker I spoke with said that if the bank went under, like the Indy Mac situation, the contents of your box will be safe. You just have to show proof that the box is yours(key & I.D.). I hope he is right! From what I understand you have to have visited your box within 6 months or it becomes property of the State. In CA. at least.

I don't think you have to worry about the government. It's pretty much divided 50/50 and require 60/40 to do anything. As long as we the people keep it that way, nothing will get done - THAT'S A GOOD THING!  I think we should forget the banks and do like to Romans - bury it. They have been in the ground for 2000 years! |
